It's essential for Pan Mee to carry the slight al-dente texture and definitely not floury or mushy (many chain Pan Mee brands have failed to realize this). Carbo and Bites did this well- all noodles are home-made (yours truly used to be a regular customer at Mandarin Cafe). The broth on the other hand, carries a clean-tasting Anchovy flavor with sweet seafood after taste. The noodle dish is then topped with crispy deep fried Anchovies, sweet Potato leaves, julienned black Fungus, Fish Balls and some minced Pork.
